Default LT headers on a 94?

well my father and i are planning on puting some LT headers on our 94 z28. so we were wondering is it more of a PITA to get to the spark plugs with LT on the car or does it make it easier or no difference?
we were also hoping you gents (and ladies) could post up some pictures of engine bays with the pacesetter LTs

i have pacesetters on my 96. no pics yet but i can tell you the plugs are much easier to get to then when it had bbk shorty headers. of course some of the plugs are easier to get to from the bottom too.

yea. i also have no pics from the engine bay. and currently outta town so cant take any. but they fit nice, the only problem ive had with mine, and heard other people have also is they like to hit the floorboards... somewhat easy fix. but the spark plug access is like 400% better with them in. good luck on the install... doing it yourself?

I have Pacesetter LTs on my 96 t/a. Plug access is better then stock, no headers are going to make access to the plugs in an f-body "good"

The fitment is good, there are slight variations between a six speed and automatic as far as fitment. The six speed is going to fit higher and give you more ground clearance but is also closer to the floorboards so it does hit but rarely.

It's a well worth it mod, yank your air and egr systems out at the same time since you'll be catless if you go with the ory.

It is easier to get to the plugs but i couldnt use a ratchet on some. I had to use a wrench that fits the end of the spark plug socket to tighten them.

Plug access is definitely improved with my Kooks long tubes, but there are still a few that require some ingenuity, or the SLP spark plug socket.

Spark plugs are a lot easier to get to with my pacesetters... the only problem I ran into was my oil pressure sensor. On some early 94 models the oil pressure sensor is just above the oil filter, I got the luck of the draw to have one of these early models and broke the damn thing off when I was installing my headers. on the newer LT1's that sensor is on the back of the engine and it is much nicer.
